I love the magpie photo. That lens really makes it easy to get bird photos.

Must be hard getting a sharp photo at that distance.

Here are a couple taken with the GH2 and 100-300mm lens. The skimmer is one of my favorite birds.

That's one reason why decided to get one.

. Typically the magpie was the only bird to come near the shed for me to take at the weekend after putting food out, they must of waited till I went out, cause all gone when got back.

@ Handheld Love the eagle shot

Crept up to this blackbird and quite surprised at how close I was able to get before she flew away...

What was the focal length on that?

vdub_er · « **Reply #9 on:** January 25, 2012, 12:58:45 AM »

Used the 40-150mm lens and had it fully extended.
